In a bid to try and simplify my life, and photography I purchased on ebay an old Canon Canonet QL17 rangefinder for under $18.00 including shipping. The camera is very small and light but with a fast 40mm f 1.7 lens that is reputed to very sharp. I have included here two shots from my first time out with the camera. So far so good, I like the shots and will soon shoot more film, next time in black and white.I will frankly admit that if you are shooting for profit digital is the only way to go. The cost savings are just too great. I am finding more and more however that for my personal satisfaction simple cameras and film are better for me. In my middle age I prefer to concentrate more on the content of an image and less on handling equipment. After all photography should be a way of expressing oneself. Each image should say something. I hope the images here on "for what it's worth" say something to you. God bless.
